   Ok, great!   
      
   Which is exactly what I'm after in fact.

   Under current copyright law, Steamboat Willie will enter the US public domain   
   on January 1, 2024.   
      
   Beginning in 2022, Republican lawmakers vowed to oppose any future attempt to   
   extend the copyright term due to their opposition to some of Disney's   
   progressive political stances   
      
      
   There are no more US elections before 2024-01-01, so we're in   
   with a reasonable shot of getting hold of this.   
      
   Some people have insisted it will never happen, but I believe we   
   will run out the clock.   
      
   It would be good if PDOS was ready for it.   
      
   I assume this is thus covered under the 12 fps. The Wikipedia   
   article didn't explicitly say that.
